Care
- Chrysopras can be cleaned safely with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use harsh household chemicals. Chrysoprase may fade if exposed to direct sunlight. When storing stone jewellery or the stones themselves, it is best to place them in a cloth-covered box or wrap them in a cloth separately from other stones to prevent damage and scratches.
- It is advisable to remove jewellery during major physical activities such as exercise or sports. Avoid spraying perfume and hairspray directly on your jewellery and stones.
